How can I hide the "UXmas" page on my Webflow website?
TL;DR
- Remove the "UXmas" page from navigation menus and disable search engine and Webflow site search indexing in the page settings.
- Optionally, add password protection or set up a 301 redirect/unpublish the page to block access entirely.
To hide a page like "UXmas" in Webflow, it depends on how and where you want it hidden—public visibility, from search engines, or from navigation.
1. Unlink from Navigation Menus
- Go to the Pages panel in the Webflow Designer.
- Open your Navbar symbol (or nav section).
- Remove the link to the "UXmas" page if it’s included in any dropdowns or menu items.
2. Disable Indexing in Search Engines
- In the Pages panel, click the “UXmas” page settings (gear icon).
- Scroll to the SEO Settings section.
- Check the box “Hide this page from search engines” to apply a
noindexmeta tag. - This prevents search engines from indexing the page but it’s still accessible via direct URL.
3. Disable Webflow Site Search
- In Page Settings, scroll to Search Settings.
- Disable the “Include in site Search” option to remove it from internal Webflow search results.
4. Require Password Protection (Optional)
If you want only certain people to access this page:
- Go to Project Settings > Hosting.
- Turn on Password Protection and apply it selectively to the "UXmas" page via its page settings.
- This hides the page from public access unless a password is provided.
5. Redirect or Unpublish the Page
If you want the page completely inaccessible:
- Option 1: Create a 301 redirect in Project Settings > Hosting > 301 Redirects (e.g., redirect
/uxmasto/). - Option 2: Unpublish the page by archiving or deleting it from the Pages panel.
Summary
To hide the "UXmas" page, remove links from menus, disable search engine indexing, and optionally use password protection or redirects. This ensures users and search engines can’t easily access the page unless you intend them to.
